TROTTING.

CANTERBURY NOTES. (By Telegraph — Cnristchurch Correspondent.) F. Holmes has disposed of the trotting mare Miss Peggy to an Australian sportsman. The success attending J. Bryce’s visit to the Otahuhu T.C.’s meeting may induce other Canterbury trainers to pay visits to Auckland when there are no local meetings about. At the last meeting of the New Zealand Trotting Association a letter was received from J. R. Corrigan, Ihreatening to take action against the Board for £lOO, as the outcome of their refusal to transfer the horse Childstone. The decision arrived at by the New Zealand Trotting Association last week

in regard to licenses being held under assumed names will make it compulsory in future that all holders of licenses shall train and drive in their proper names.

What is probably the last of the season’s foalings to be recorded is that of the American mare Gardenia, who a few days ago foaled a colt to Bon Homme. The juvenile boasts of a very attractive pedigree, being standard bred on the side of both sire and dam. AUCKLAND TROTTING CLUB. AUTUMN MEETING. The next meeting to engage the attention of trotting owners and trainers in the Auckland province will be the autumn fixture of the Auckland Trotting Club, which is set down for decision on Wednesday and Saturday, April 7 and 10. This gathering is liberally endowed with stake money, and is certain to attract a large number of visiting horses from the South. The principal event on the opening day is the Campbell Handicap! two

miles), of BOOsovs., for harness horses, while the Liverpool Handicap (two miles), of 25050v5., will be decided on the second day. These two events should induce some of the best South-

ern handicap horses to make the trip to Auckland, while the valuable stakes with which other events on both days are endowed will doubtless result in record entries being received for the gathering. Nominations for all events close with the secretary, Mr. C. F. Mark, on Friday, March 26, at 9 p.m.
